Dr. Betsy Grunch, a neurosurgeon with The Longstreet Clinic in Gainesville, was recognized in the University of Georgia's 40 Under 40 as an outstanding alumnus. Grunch was inspired to pursue neuroscience as a 13-year-old after her mother Betty Uriegas, a former Hall County deputy, was paralyzed from the neck down after a car crash while pursuing a fleeing suspect in 1994. - photo by David Barnes
On the shelf in Dr. Betsy Grunch’s office sits a football with a University of Georgia logo emblazoned on the front. It’s in a clear case, protected to ensure the signature of Todd Gurley, former Georgia Bulldogs and now Los Angeles Rams star running back, doesn’t fade away.
